  South African Enameled New Coat of Arms Medallion Presented in Royal Blue Velvet Box Reverse has story about the new coat of arms. GENERIC PICTURES

After bitter debate, South Africa, a dominion of the British Empire at the time, declared war on Germany five days after the invasion of Poland in September 1939. Thrust by the British into the campaign against Erwin Rommels German Afrika Korps in North Africa, the South Africans fought a see-saw war of defeats followed by successes, culminating in the Battle of El Alamein, where South African soldiers made a significant contribution to halting the Desert Foxs advance into Egypt. This is the story of an army committed somewhat reluctantly to a war it didnt fully support, ill-prepared for the battles it was tasked with fighting, and sent into action on the orders of its senior alliance partner. At its heart, however, this is the story of men at war. Paperback, 352 pages

South Africa was under serious terrorist attacks during the 1980's. Those attacks were mainly committed by Communists and the ANC. The South African Police as the main law enforcement agency had the task of maintaining law and order in an atmosphere, where the opposing sides only paid lip service to the international accepted protocols and conventions. Queensbury rules had been thrown over board and nobody knew where the next mine, grenade, bomb or bullet would be delivered. After 1994, the so-called first democratic election which brought Nelson Mandela to power, the former terrorists became heroes and those who's duty it was to serve and protect the villains. It is against this background that the author, who is known for his expertise and objectivity endeavors, in a concise manner, to put into perspective the other side of the story. The purpose is not to justify either the means or the ends, but rather for the thinking people in society to judge for themselves. Paperback, 198 pages.  Published  1997 ***Contains graphic images - for mature readers only***
